turtle shell

I have been in love ever since I layed my eyes on the Turtle shell decoration of Kelly Wearstler (she is a genius) I blogged about them here before.  She used resin turtle shells at the Tides restaurant.

I love animals so much, I couldn´t harm a fly, I would only accept having one of these if they were resin or an antique one....

I have seen them while diving in tropical waters, such magnificent animals. I would´t be happy that this becomes the next decor must have item and that people start capturing them for people to have them hanging on the walls. So if you are interested get a resin one that looks authentic or an antique one that is over 100 years.

I like them hanged on the wall or on a pretty stand.

tortoise shell

I have been obsessed with this picture ever since I saw it. The tortoise shell on the wall is such a statement piece. As a huge animal lover I wouldn´t want to have one if I knew the turtle was killed to make it a decor object, only if the animal passed away of age.

Next images are some good options for other animal lovers:

The last picture is a paper march one that you can buy from West Elm. You get the look and the feeling for a better price without hurting one of the worlds precious animals.

This pretty one is from the collection of Nate Berkus for Target. All blogland went coocoo over Target´s items, they have an high end look for a nice price. Get yours when you can.
